What A Difference A Duke Makes by Lenora Bell

BOOK REVIEW

LENORA BELLWhat A Difference A Duke Makes
School For Dukes #1

In WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DUKE MAKES, daring, witty Miss Mari Perkins goes searching for a job and winds up falling for a devilish duke who thinks he has no time for love or romance. A brilliant, heartfelt historical romance tale about what it means to find a family not of blood but borne through patience and love.

I absolutely adored this book from start to finish. Mari is the perfect blend of innocence and cleverness, of daring and friendship. I loved how she interacted with the Duke’s children, earning their respect and trust while also engaging their interest in learning, and how she challenged and inspired the Duke of Banksford, Edgar Rochester, to not only listen but also follow through on what he heard. She gained all of their trust by being true to herself, even though she wasn’t entirely forthcoming with her own story and secrets. She was endearing and she made this book such a pleasure to read.

If you’re looking for an incredibly enjoyable and moving historical romance story with a cast of characters that will steal your heart from the moment they appear, pick up a copy of WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DUKE MAKES by Lenora Bell. It’s the first book in the author’s School for Dukes series and it sets an incredibly high bar for all the books to follow.

Such a fun and moving story. Highly recommend reading this book and this author. I couldn’t put it down!

Edgar Rochester, Duke of Banksford, is one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in England, but when it comes to raising twins alone, he knows he needs help. The only problem is the children have terrorized half the governesses in London. Until the clever, bold, and far-too-enticing Miss Mari Perkins arrives.

Lost: One heart to an arrogant duke

Mari knows how to wrap even the most rebellious children around her finger. But their demanding, wickedly handsome father? He won’t be quite so easy to control. And there’s something else she can’t seem to command. Her heart. The foolish thing beats so wildly every time Edgar is near.

Found: A forbidden passion neither can deny

As his employee, Mari is strictly off-limits. But what if she’s the one breaking all his rules? In the game of governess versus duke, how can Edgar maintain his defenses when the only thing he wants to do is let the tempting beauty win . . .?
